The FreeBSD wiki entry (http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRoot) is either  
outdated or incomplete; or it's just that I have no clue...
In either case, the guide tells me to create a "boot" symlink on the  
new partition, but I already have such a file (/boot/boot, not a link):
[root@devil ~]# file /boot/boot
/boot/boot: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0xa5, active, starthead  
0, startsector 0, 50000 sectors, code offset 0x3c, reserved sectors  
0, Media descriptor 0x0, reserved 0x16, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x1f)

What to do? I have no idea if this file is needed or not, and how to  
proceed. Input is welcome.
BTW, I'm new to FreeBSD-CURRENT, and also quite inexperienced with  
mailing lists, so be gentle. :)

Thanks,
Thomas

PS. Will the new bootable partition automatically show up in the boot  
manager? I haven't rebooted to check yet. DS.
